Are depictions of immoral acts in video games inherently immoral itself, or only when it intentionally encourages immoral acts?
>>749598571How many Gods died on the cross? I just need a number.
if you kill human NPCs in videogames you should go to prison
>>749598571It's not immoral in any case, otherwise you would have to jail everyone who has ever written a villain killing someone.
Are we really in 2026 and people cant separate fiction from reality? You think neanderthal troglodytes felt this way when they made cave paintings of mammoths and bison for fun?
>>749598685>Are we really in 2026 and people cant separate fiction from reality?There's only a difference if someone doesn't get immersed in the game. Like, what's the difference between 4chan and a video game?
>>7495987294chan has bots and shitskins talking about social media, politics, porn and their own miserable lives. Actual games have none of this.
>>749598795>4chan has bots and shitskins talking about social media, politics, porn and their own miserable lives. Actual games have none of this.That's not true, and games would have all of that depending on what you play. Have you never played an MMO?
>>749598685Yeah retard, some of us were there. I saw the neanderthal cave paintings that showed depictions of them killing us homo sapians and believe me, we genocided their asses. Draw me getting stepped on by a mammoth? Fuck offBy the way, in case you didn't know, you have actually posted a picture of a villain, Robbie Rotten, who discourages healthy exercise and a well-balanced diet. So no, I don't think a look of "disapproval" from a literal villain is very compelling. I know what makes him cheer.
If anyone is wondering, he's playing this btw:https://store.steampowered.com/app/1198970
>>749598571morality is a spook
>>749598571>Are depictions of immoral acts in video games inherently immoral itself, or only when it intentionally encourages immoral acts?Neither. Video games are art, and expressions of ideas and the human soul, including dangerous ones that cannot be acted out in reality, is the purpose of art. As an example, in Bioshock Andrew Ryan orders you to kill him. So you beat him to death with a wrench. It's a depiction of an immoral act, but it's beyond the player's control. But you are also given the option to harvest Little Sisters, which involves ripping the ADAM slug out of their stomach lining, which kills them. You cannot get the best ending if you do this. If you harvest them all, you get the worst ending. But regardless of ending you get, they are still just endings in a video game. Not real life. You can replay them as much as you want and go for whatever ending you want. You can play Undertale and follow the Genocide route, then clear the save flags after and do the Pacifist route and get the best ending, bypassing the permanent punishment Genocide is supposed to inflict upon you.One must always remember to separate reality from fiction.
>>749598571>does video games cause violence i thought we left the hysterical housewife arguments back in the 2000s where they belong
>>749599358>One must always remember to separate reality from fiction.Can you say why people should do that? I spent my life playing video games because I didn't like reality. That means to me, there's no difference beyond one being worse.
>>749599438Video games don't cause violence, but I'm sure they could teach violence. In school, people learn from books, right? Why couldn't people learn from video games? Like, a kid could play a game where you stab someone to death and now he knows you can do that to end someone's life. That's not learning?
>>749598571The bible depicts immoral actsThis should answer your question
>>749598571Define immoral.
>>749599679Because consequences are permanent in reality, while they are impermanent in video games. If I shoot you in a game you can just respawn. If I shoot you in real life you'll be crippled for life, if not die. I can't un-shoot you, and you don't get to respawn.
>>749599868Silence housewife and make me a sandwich
I remember the push to bring gamification to education and the terrible results it brought.
>>749600010It's weird that people truly believe in>ill die and its forever :(and then proceed to spend the rest of their lives ruining my website. It makes so little sense. Why do you waste your time if it's so precious?
>>749598642At least three
>>749598685i am a well adjusted individual I just happen to spend my time playing video games and pretending im murdering, raping, and torturing innocent people, I just jack off while doing fatalities on the mk girl characters, im normal though its just a video game, i can be trusted
>>749600571>there were no signs
>>749600271Like, who made the threads you see on the catalog? It wasn't me. Who made the hundreds of posts? I have one thread open. People will spend their lives here while talking about no respawn. No, you won't respawn, so maybe leave at any time. I'll be respawning, and that's why I'm here. The NPCs can't even act based on their own beliefs.
